Kurt Russell is teasing fans about the upcoming "Fast & Furious 7", giving hints as to whether the franchise will continue with Paul Walker.
In an interview with IGN, Russell chatted about the production, which he is told will reported resume in April or May. Russell wasn't completely sure when asked if the actor could be featured in a "Fast 8" film, but claims his character is more connected to Vin Diesel's than Paul Walker's Brian O'Connor.
"That's going to be interesting," Russell said. "...The character has been purposely been treated in a certain way so that he can or can't. The 'can' will be an interesting stretch. It works, because I understand what it is and we came up with it. It's like, 'Oh, wow! That's cool!' If he doesn't, then he doesn't. If he gets killed, he gets killed."
"That will be for them to determine," Russell added. "I just wanted to be able to work with them making the best possible character to either be sad he doesn't move on or say, 'Yeah, I want this character to move on -- we need this character to move on.' That sort of thing. I don't know what the situation, with Paul dying, does to that. I don't know."
When asked about Paul Walker's death, the actor told IGN he was a "great guy" and was glad he was able to work with him before he died on Nov. 30, 2013.
"He was a terrific person," Russell told IGN. "How can you not like that guy? Everything about him was cool. Yeah, and he was just coming into a part of his life I think where he was beginning to say, 'Well, I've kinda got my life going great. What is it artistically I wanna do? Now I'm comfortable to say, Let me tear it apart and find out. Let me tear this engine apart and find out what's there.' Boom. Lights out. Terrible. Life! Life..."
